Summary:

The O*NET Career Exploration Tools are assessment instruments that can guide users to lists of potentially suitable occupations based on their work values, interests, and abilities. To facilitate this process, occupations are stratified in terms of their preparation requirements: experience, education and job training. This report describes the process used to stratify occupations in terms of their level of required vocational preparation.
